Einstein said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats

---yet they are still POOR.

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

The "You cannot" statement at the bottom of the email has been mistakenly attributed to Lincoln but were actually spoken by Presbyterian minister, Reverend William John Henry Boetcker. Don't really know who he was but his statements give a person something to think about.
